1. Start with basic obedience commands. Begin with commands such as “sit”, “stay”, “come”, “down” and “heel”. Use positive reinforcement techniques such as treats, praise, and play to reward your dog for following commands.
2. Practice regularly. Consistency is key when training a dog. Set aside time each day to practice commands and reinforce good behavior.
3. Use a crate. Crate training is an effective way to housebreak a puppy and can help with overall obedience training.
4. Socialize your dog. Introduce your dog to other people and animals to help them become comfortable in different environments.
5. Challenge your dog. Once your dog has mastered the basics, you can start teaching more complex commands and tricks.
